Hi All,
Hopefully someone can help me identify what this worm is swimming in my tank. You can only see it in the first few seconds so you might have to replay the video a few times. I apologise for the quality but the video was taken quickly on my phone about ten minutes ago.
There are a few of these swimming about but most are a lot smaller than this one. The fish eat them quite happily but I am concerned that this is how they are being perpetuated. I am also concerned that it is a parasitic worm and will harm the fish. I have tried various worming treatments, Fluke Solve, Praziquantel, Kusuri Discus Wormer plus etc but to no effect. These are probably in my filter medium and in the gravel etc.
I am wondering if these could be the offspring from some live Californian Blackworms I fed to my fish quite a few months ago.

I emailed this to my laptop, uploaded it to Photobucket and copied and pasted the URL above. If anyone can tell me how to do this correctly I'd appreciate it.
Anyone any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve
